LAWTON, Okla. (Volleyball) – Cameron University (7-7, 2-5 LSC) registered 43 kills and 63 digs to put a screeching halt to a three-game losing skid against Texas A&M University-Kingsville (10-5, 3-4 LSC), 25-21, 25-20, 25-16, on Friday evening inside the Aggie Gymnasium.

In set two, the Javelinas got ahead by at least four points twice, before a kill by Cameron tied the score at 14-14 and led to a TAMUK timeout. From there, CU battled and ultimately closed out set two with a 25-20 win.
